A Bit of Me(Me)

A Bit of Me(me) is a great new meme that is sponsored by There's a Book. It is intended for everyone to get to know our fellow book bloggers a little bit better.

This week's Question :

Tell us all about your favorite movie and why. Can’t pick one? Give us your top five!

My Favorite Movie without a doubt is :

I just love the whole thing and especially the last couple of lines " Peter has asked when we fell in love, I just told him While you were Sleeping"

Next would have to be :

Dirty Dancing; "Nobody puts Baby in the Corner"

Number 3 would be :

Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopie Goldberg nuff said

Number 4

"When Your a Jet, Your a Jet"

And last but not least:

The original Yours, Mine and Ours with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. The remake was okay but didn't have the heart warming scenes that the original ones (they were going more for the comedy). My favorite is when Lucy goes into labor and on the way out the door Henry Fonda is explaining to Lucy's oldest daughter about what is really important. Also after the baby was born the Peter askes his oldest stepbrother if the baby "Is he my brother or Yours to which the brother answers, He's both our brother"

Love, Love, Love this movie. I guess I like stories about big families (I'm a 19 kids and counting junkie).

Oh, my goodness, you and I are soulmates in regards to movies. Or almost. I consider several on your list among my favorites as well. You've pointed out great lines from two of them. I also love The Long, Long Trailer and I wonder how many people even know about that one. :-)

I was 7 when Dirty Dancing first came out, so I don't think I actually saw it until it was available for renting. However, I remember my friends and I all loving it when I was about 9. Still holds a place in my heart. :)

My mom also had a copy of the original Yours, Mine and Ours with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda, and we watched it a lot of times while I was growing up. Loved the scene where they go grocery shopping and get about 10 jars of peanut butter and Miracle Whip. :)

This is a great meme! I love these movies as well and now I am just going to have to watch Yours,mine & ours with my kids this weekend. I don't think they have ever seen it but are old enough to love the classics :)

Book Review of Buttercream Bump Off by Jenn McKinlay

Buttercream Bump Off by Jenn McKinlay

From Goodreads.comMelanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura's Fairy Tale Cupcakes bakery is gearing up for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately someone has iced Baxter Malloy on his first date with Mel's mother. Now Mom's a suspect, and Mel and Angie need to find time around frosting to dig into the man's shady past and discover who served him his just desserts.

My Take: I read the first book in this series when it first came out then bought this book which is the second in the series and promptly forgot about it. Now there ar four other books in this series and I have some serious catching up to do. I immediately bought the second book in this series because I really liked the first book. Here is the link to my review for Sprinkled with Murder.

In this book Melanie's mother goes out on a date with a very successful business man. While she is changing her clothes he is murdered. Melanie's mother becomes the prime suspect of course but she quickly becomes second when the son of the man becomes the prime suspect because they have a bad relationship. The son is a drummer of a huge rock band and starts to date Angie. Tate and Melanie are concerned because Roach is the prime suspects. There are also plenty of other suspects as the man made all his money off of other people and scammed them and alot of people lost alot of money. This book had some funny parts which mostly involved their interaction with other bakeries. I will be trying to catch up with the series.

Book Review or Book Spotlight, What's the dif?

I have been posting something I have been calling a Book Spotlight. How is this different from a review? A Review is when I have read the book either entirely or mostly and I feel that I can write an opinion on the book based on my experience with the book. I either have a physical copy of the book or audio or e-book. A Spotlight is when I haven't actually read the book but I want to bring attention to it so others are aware of it. I sometimes have a copy of the book but just haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I may just like the author and intend on getting a copy of the book soon. Most spotlights include a summary taken from Amazon.com or Goodreads.com.
